i love your art so much oh my goodness,,, do you think you could do an eggbiter at some point :o?
ANON I AM SHAKING YOUR HAND VIGOROUSLY. I never knew about these dragons but now they are literally my favorite species ever??? I may even love them more than Night Furies, I am so so happy I got to learn about them for this ask <333 It is a TRAVESTY that they're RoB exclusive but I will be grinding the game until I can get one for myself. They remind me of aztec animal sculptures with their sharp pointy heads and strong shapes <3
Dragon #44 - Egg Biter
(Made this guy sun themed because I found a very pretty color palette)
two questions: what is your personal favourite dragon to draw? Do you have a specific species or individual? And my second question is have you done any sandwraiths? I swear I remember seeing one but I can’t find ‘em while scrolling
Might be a boring answer, but I love drawing Furies the most. They have relatively simplistic designs when compared to other dragons, so they take less energy and are easier to doodle. But I also love drawing Terrible Terrors! I got pretty good at drawing them from memory, so it saves me the hassle of looking for good references
And yes, I have drawn Sand Wraiths! I did an entire family picture, since like 6 different people requested it. It's kinda old at this point and a bit lower quality than my more recent posts, but I still really like it :)
Concept doodles of The Nine Realms dragons because I fell into spiral with those lmao. I have no idea what to do with Feather so I'm ruling her out for now lmao.
I feel that one of the main problems with D:TNR is that this original dragons are done in one style, dragons from previous series are done in another style and dragons from yet another (Bubblehorn is from some series for really young kids from what I know) are done in yet another style and the creators lump it all together.
And the fact that I'm not fond of The Nine Realms artstyle at all is a private opinion. Mine doesn't rally fit HTTYD universe either but I think it's not hard to translate these design so I hope it works anyway lol
Most important text from pics under the cut:
WU 'N' WEI
I feel like two heads don't work for that dragon but I tried to roll with that.
I give them spinosaurous-like snouts bcuz I wanted to keep it round but non-deformed lookin' (lmao).
Catfish-like whiskers on both jaws and in front of eyes.
Knee bends forwards now (why do they bend backwards in canon design??? I don't understand)
More Zippleback-like legs and body.
I hate their colors and tried to improve it but my brain can't do colors either ಥ_ಥ I feel like it all crashes together...
Personal note: I don't like designs of animals who have colors 50/50 at all but I want them to be recognizable. Color pattern like this feel super unnatural unless it's mutation. Like those birds or butterflies who are half male, half female. It's also my personal headcanon for these two lol
I don't like pattern of their wings bit idk what to give them. I just don't want wings to be solid but different than body color, it just looks kinda awkward??
PLOWHORN
In my opinion, because only her wings are covered in armor they look out of place. Rumblehorns' armor looked more conected to it, because head also looked hard/armored. So I tried to connect her armor to her body a bit more
Horn is no longer made of crystal.
She doesn't grow crystals. Crystals grow on her because of her natural habitat
I give her a bit smaller head
Details of her unique wings. They are still made of skin and bones but folds in more bug-like style
BUBBLEHORN
Bodytype similiar to Terrible Terrors, maybe a bit shorter.
Horns like those of Deadly Nadder.
Eyes like parrots'. Idk why lol
Spikes and scales on legs and tail similiar to those of Night Fury
Another dumb idea of mine from forever ago
Hiccup and Toothless find a new island and there are lots of Night Fury statues (that are actually sentinels who for some reason look like Night Furies)
